Importance of blood typing
The determination of blood type is an essential process that ensures animals will benefit from transfusion support. Nowadays, a dog or a cat has a significant probability of being transfused once or more in their lifetime. Basic blood typing is essential to perform these first and subsequent transfusions as safely as possible and also to make the best use of the donated blood.
Benefits
● 2-minute procedure
● All material included
● Archivable
● Easy handling
● Reliable results
● Easy interpretation
● High specificity
● Snap result
Technology
The system is based on the migration of red blood cells on a membrane. Monoclonal antibodies specific to each antigen (DEA 1 in dogs, A/B in cats) have been incorporated on the membrane. These antibodies will retain positive antigens (DEA 1 in dogs, A/B in cats). A positive result is characterized by the presence of 1 or 2 red lines in front of the A and/or B for the feline QuickTest or a red line in front of DEA 1 for the canine QuickTest. The control line (C) must be positive; this signifies that the test has run successfully.
In dogs, the determination of DEA 1 antigen is strongly recommended before any blood transfusion to avoid a potent alloantibody response against this antigen and to avoid an acute haemolytic transfusion reaction.

SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION
Reliable in case of Auto-Agglutination
Thanks to specific membrane technology, the agglutinated red blood cells (RBCs) will be retained at the bottom of the membrane whereas non-agglutinated RBCs will continue to migrate to the top of the membrane.

Reliable in case of Low PCV (Anemia)
Thanks to the sensitivity of specific monoclonal antibodies, even with a low pcv a reliable blood type can be obtained.
